Holy shit Gayle is a freak. Great innings from both Warner and Gayle there. Two of the best T20 batters today no doubt.

Holy shiat at the second T20 game, what an amazing comeback from saffers

61 runs required from 30 balls, RRR: 12.20 with 3 tailender wickets in hand and they pull it off!

"It's a little like the 438 game," says Firdose, "crazy scenes here." Not quite sure the chase is quite on a par with that, but locals will certainly enjoy it.

Gotta sting when reminded of that 438 chase.

I will never forget that game, I watched it live. I still get shivers when watch replays of it. I became such a fanboy of Gibbs after that match.

Good start in test match for pakistan. Hopefully we can at least draw a test. I know its an unrealistic expectation.

Yeah kinda' surprised by the results so far (don't be mad because i'm actually glad to see Pak doing well, just SL shouldn't be rolled over like this).

How about you try and win a test series against us and get back to me.

ya they need to play test series. Also both team need to learn how to win over seas. Especially India. Also I believe test is the real rankings. My favorite team is SA anyways :( They are not chokers you bastards

Congrats to India. 5-0. I am glad they have some pride and took it to them.

It seems they are truly flat wicket world champions.

Fucking cowards. The way poms lasted against spin, it would have been a one-sided affair.

England are not yet above SA or Aus when it comes to playing spin.

Indian broadcasters are shit, they aren't showing replays of contentious umpiring decisions against England and when they do they're showing it like 5 balls later and zoomed in so you can't see anything, the Sky guys are complaining about it. Fucking ridiculous.

And pipe down Aussie, your lot are shite.

edit:

Also the Indians are appealing against everything for no bloody reason, I bet if you asked them what they were asking for they wouldn't even be able to tell you. Good ball that missed bat/pad/glove by a mile? HOWZAT. Ball went within 3 feet of a pad? HOWZAT.

That actually happened with Pakistan, SL, England, SA, Aus and every other team that is on the losing side, its natural.

So apparently the conviction of the three betting-fixers is a plot by the ECB to undermine the sub-continental game.

What? Sky received its feed from an Indian broadcaster. Why do I not know what I'm talking about?

oh come on why would you believe that. That is some top level conspiracy shit. lol. Who cares every one sane knows what happened. There is always people like this who can not accept the reality.

Lol, I know it isn't a conspiracy, I was just highlighting how crazy some people are. Although to be fair, I think this kind of thing could possibly happen with other teams, and maybe even England.

windies with the upperhand against india? could they possibly win?

Only in a perfect world. India come out with a thumping win with two new bowlers and without Harbhajan (thankfully!) ..

Mean while Australia struggling against the proteas .. 172/6 with only whiny puppy putting up a fight.

Oh and those cheating and match fixing PAKISTANI cricketers? JAILED. Good riddance.

This 4th innings is gonna be very good. Would've been sweet if the Aussies got out for below 26 (no offense Aussies, this coming from a bitter Brit).

HOLEEEEE SHIEEEET!

Any other top 5 test nation that recently got bowled out for less than 50? A.mazing! Rooting for SA (changed from rooting for Aus) now even though the win is unlikely.

Found the answer. NO!

The most recent test playing nation (forget top 5) to get bowled out for less than 50 was WI (now ranked no.7) more than 7 years ago ..

fucking aye! saffers surely cant choke from here... funnier things have happened

Choke? I think we'll be in the choke territory when there are less than 75 runs with 7 or 8 wickets in hand, still a long way to go.

16.6 Harris to Amla, no run, a catch has been dropped off the final ball of the day! The ball was short and wide and Amla had a real go at it, wanting to end the day emphatically. He cut it hard but in the air and straight to Hussey. the ball flew to him at stomach height and he dropped it

Thank you Mussey!

Definitely the most embarrassing Australian cricket team of my life time. For every good thing they do they do about 5 more derp things. Just disgraceful batting and the most limp dick 2nd innings bowling. Whose idea was it to start pitching it up and on the pads?

The day began in the first innings of the Test, and ended in the fourth. 23 wickets have fallen, 12 in the second session. South Africa were dismissed for 96, giving up a lead of 188. And then they came out and razed Australia to 21 for 9 before dismissing them for 47.
